The paper identifies and characterizes a novel intestinal epithelial cell type that co-expresses epithelial and lymphoid genes, distinct from known cell types.

This study identifies mast cells and their derived serotonin as drivers of adipocyte lipolysis, leading to visceral fat atrophy and hepatic steatosis in obesity.

This study shows that redox balance, regulated by NOX1 and HIF1-IDH1 interactions, controls epithelial stem cell fate in the distal colon niche.

This study shows that bacterial sphingolipids worsen colitis by reducing IL-22 production from ILC3 cells in mice.
